t-town weekend

 a pic from my weekend in Tulsa with my mom. :-) We had such a great time-- shopping, talking, seeing Eclipse (again!!) and going to the American Idol concert (it's our tradition!). 

odds & ends

we went to Tulsa a few weeks go for Trek Expo (oh yes, super nerdy) and got the typical pics-- people in their costumes, actors from various sci-fi movies/tv shows and a few shots of us together.

Here I am with the Ghostbuster's car. The dress I'm wearing is new and I love it--- 50% off at Belk!

I've got a cut and color scheduled next week and I'm really leaning toward this cut & color... eeek, it's quite a change!

and really, no post is complete without Jack Bauer! :-)

May 15th!!

We already have tickets. I am so excited!!!

back home!

I spent last week in Tulsa, working at my mom's office while my parents were on vacation. The working part was NO FUN, but seeing old friends was so much fun! I have some random pictures from the the trip and since I hate to post without some pictures, here ya go!

I'll start with a rare sight around here-- me working in an office!! haha! I worked full time until Mike and I got married. After college I started working in the family business-- the riveting field of insurance. (note the heavy sarcasm!). We moved to Arkansas just a month after our wedding and I haven't worked outside the home since. So, in a way it was kinda fun to get dressed up and go to an office. Buuuut... the fun wore off quickly. :-)

I was really excited to spend some time with friends and family and I got to hang out with my Grandma Sue and her sweet dog Dallas:

I also got to finally meet my friend's daughter:

some of my girlfriends pointed out that I'm touching the kiddo with one finger. haha That's a big step for me!!

I was able to reconnect with my old bff Sarah too. We were super tight back in my single days but drifted apart when I moved out of state. The move and lots of life changes kind of took it's toll on our friendship... but seeing her again and hanging out like the good old days was amazing!! I can't wait for her to come up to Arkansas and spend some time with me and I can't wait to head back to Tulsa to see her. <3

 I also had a great girl's night out with Brooke and Jackie-- but no pics unfortunately. I got to meet sweet baby Parker-- he's too stinking cute!!

I'll finish with a Jack Bauer picture (shocker, right??) He's so over the snow!! And it's still falling outside. *sigh*

Fair 2009

It's a yearly tradition for my mom & I to head out to the Tulsa State Fair. We spend pretty much the entire day in the buildings- looking at the booths, dodging pushy salespeople, checking out the 4H displays etc. We tried to figure it out, but we think we've been doing this for about 27 years! :-) Here are some pictures from our most recent trip:

Random-ness

Lots of random little things happened this weekend. Dad left and we got some great pictures, I'll post later today. I got to spend time with my Mom and brother, which was so fun. We saw Ocean's 13, went to the casino and just relaxed. Mike apparently played xBox 360 with Dane Cook. Seriously! They played a game of online poker together-- maybe I can get Mike to blog about it later!

Every morning when Mike gets up for work, I wake up and make his lunch (awww-how cute!). Anyway, I can never get back to sleep so I've resorted to bad tv @ 6 am. Its become a habit to watch 2 episodes of Saved by the Bell and then Dawson's Creek. Its really funny to see Katie Holmes "pre-Cruise" :) Did anyone else watch Dawson's Creek in college? I think I watched the first season and then just stopped...

Oooh, Mike's brother (and my brother-in-law-- still sounds weird to me!) Rob comes into town this weekend. SO FUN! I know Mike is excited and it will be great to have him here for a few days. So, thats it-- I'll try to post pics later today!
